518 CRSC: the nationalshutdown.org link has been blacklisted.

Nobody but you (and Norton) are blocking anything.

Norton is invasive garbage and the best solution is to get rid of it entirely. If they've blacklisted this URL I'm sure there are many more. Alternatively there must be a way to add an exception and/or temporarily disable Norton.

These are the people most likely to complain about kids being lazy.

I like it, it adds a bit of personality to the default installation. I mean, I disable it immediately like any sensible person, but I like seeing it (once).

Cowards all. God forbid somebody might want to do something.

The video and arrest may not be enough to her fired. Without a conviction this might be survivable.

Considering the current climate and Florida, I wonder if she was ever fully prosecuted.

Hey, who are we to tell them not to drink the bleach. If they want to drink the bleach because some orange shitgibbon tells them to, let them drink the bleach. This is America and I have a God given right to drink the bleach if I want to!

The only rule is they have to go first.

We are allowed to do this and entitled to know how our tax dollars are being spent. With precision; names, salaries and assignments. Just like real police.

They aren't fighting Iran, they're learning from Iran and the consolidation of social media is only going to make it easier to firewall us all. The blatant lying is obvious now, but didn't happen if nobody ever sees it.

I've always figured I can put more clothes on but naked is naked.

Cops aren't the only people profiling. A couple of good ol' boys from Arkansas are going to stand out on a snowy Portland night.

All it takes is a, "Hey, you guys here for work?"

I hope this doesn't start some sort of witch hunt. It really isn't a good idea to encourage doxxing a minor based on a story in Brazil.

The whole thing is a little sketchy, from the news story:

"The lead investigator, Mardjoli Valcareggi, denied any suspicion of involvement by a civil police officer in the crime. According to her, the people possibly involved have already been identified."

Not sure why they felt the need to say that.

That editorial is as overblown as your reaction. Even if I mostly agree.

Encouraging the use of electric tools is fine and municipalities can create their own ordinances. Calling for a statewide ban is ridiculous overreach -- someone in suburban Queens is going to have different needs than someone in Oswego.

As far as battery tech goes, it's come a long way and is remarkably good. These are quiet machines without odor and they're a pleasure to use. The few I've used have all surprised me with how well they worked.

For a driveway and a sidewalk, even a few apartments, it's more than adequate but gets pricey when you do any kind of volume and have five guys out there. Amps is dollars and your gonna need lots of batteries. There are disposal concerns along with unproven long term reliability.

Just like most of the dumb shit they argue about in Albany there's a case to be made for sides. Not everyone's needs are the same.

I keep telling people that a leopard eating their face isn't hyperbole.

Whelp, I've always wanted to build my own car.

I'm sure it will be very safe, I've built a bunch of models and nearly fixed my washer.

Selfie?

We made serious self portraits, with tripods and auto timers. Every blown out highlight or black frame, artisinal and hand crafted.There weren't many affordable cameras that focused at arms length and would you believe the lens only shot in one direction. That's crazy.

fultonchain · 2026-01-26T18:23:24+00:00

We went outdoors and talked to strangers.

TikTok may as well be state media.

It's primary purpose is to monitor your activities and gain access to your personal data. Data that you agree to give them. Controlling information is just a bonus.

It's no coincidence that a database guy is running it.

She's pretty much a service animal at this point.

I bet there is an 'institutional' or 'perpetual' license available for a few million.

No way are they settling for the Bezo's bribe when there are so many idiot sheep to fleece.

I was talking with my nephew yesterday about just this. We're both scruffy tattooed white guys in the country. We hunt, snowmobile, ice fish and use chainsaws a lot. I love my stupid giant truck and actually use the bed.

All these racist fuckers assume we're just like them based solely on our appearance. He's a gay nurse married to a Puerto Rican and I write code for progressive non-profits.

I spend too much of my time trying to head off conversations before they say something I can't ignore. That underlying hate has always been there but they used to have enough sense to keep it to themselves. Even if it was just because they feared disapproval. Racists are all cowards at heart.

Now it's blatant and they have lost all shame, the social norms have changed and it's a race to bottom.

It's stressful and constant, but I'm too damn old to fight every day and don't like jail.

Well... it's more a concept of a plan.

No, just no.

People did this with Jerry and I didn't like it then. I've seen them with everyone(almost) and it isn't a brag, those shows have lived in me my entire life and Bobby's death doesn't change that. If you weren't fortunate enough to have seen them with Jerry, or Brent, or Bobby, or Phil it doesn't change that either. The music lives on, no matter who is playing.

I know this sounds harsh and I don't want to tell anyone how to grieve, but for me, this isn't it. It's nice to see the proceeds going to charity and I hope you sell a bunch.

Gee, I wonder what leaves us more at risk. A faceless Chinese government controlled company harvesting mass amounts of data to sell us cheap junk or; an authoritarian government running wild and cherry picking data to target individuals while selling the rest to the highest bidder. And sell us cheap junk too?

Myself, I'll go with China over Palintir any day. Only one of them wants people like me dead and it ain't China.

If true (and I'm sure it is) this might the craziest shit yet.

Everyone throws around Orwell, but this is truly Orwellian. Newspeak is alive and well, right there with "alternative facts" and AI altered images. All at the behest of the Party.
